municipal
Definition
Pertaining to city government, as opposed to state or national government. From the point of view of an investor, the municipal government is a very important entity since they are large issuers of tax-advantaged bonds. Municipal governments issue bonds (sometimes called "munis") to raise capital for their day-to-day activities, and for specific projects that they might be undertaking (usually pertaining to development of local infrastructure such as roads, hospitals, etc).
